Ingredients

Bread4 slices
Mayonnaise½ cups
Ham4 slices
Turkey breast4 slices
Cheddar cheese4 slices
Swiss cheese4 slices
Egg2
Cream¼ cups
Nutmeg¼ tsp
Hot sauce1
Butter2 tbsp

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the crusts from the bread. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice. Layer a slice of each cheese, then the ham and turkey, then one more slice of each cheese. Top with the remaining bread, mayonnaise side down, and press gently to seal.
In a bowl, beat the whole egg, egg yolk, cream, nutmeg and hot sauce until fully combined.
Heat the clarified butter in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches about 225°F (107°C).
Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides, then place in the pan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the sandwich is heated through.
Let cool slightly, then slice in half and serve immediately.
